Wife has bought a lamp which takes 5 GU10 bulbs, the intention was to use colour changing bulbs from Lidi however the last bulbs done by Lidi were not colour changing, so looked on internet, however some are bluetooth, some zigbee, and I know in the past found bluetooth which would only work with one phone, zigbee has worked well, but the prices of some seem silly, and I can't see why some cost so much.
There is a duel aim, one to look good as it lights the dangling bits of the chandelier and two allow us to turn lights on/off with phone, idea was centre lamp always on only can switch off with app, other 4 on two way switch, so can get away with one smart lamp to start with.
But trying to select reasonable prices bulbs seems hard, specially trying to work out which are zigbee.
